About the Tram Cars

Designed, engineered and constructed by CWA Constructions in Olten, Switzerland, the new tram cars and carrier arms are made of a high-grade aluminum alloy, the same used in the aerospace industry. CWA is the largest manufacturer of ropeway cabins and gondolas in the world.

The original tram cars had been in service for nearly 34 years.

Construction of the cars and carriers began in November 2006 and was completed in March 2007.
